That being said, the guy's a 30 year old, millionaire professional athlete. Are we honestly going to waste time with inflated indignancy over a fun time he was having in a strip club? C'mon, that's ridiculous.

Great post. You summed up my feelings perfectly in that first paragraph...except was he on the practice squad? I don't remember
